Miss Force Would Punch
Face of a Clergyman
r
MISS KATHE RIXE FORCE
Says
She Wishes She Were
a Man Bishop " Calls"
the Clergyman
New York, N. T., Aug. 21. Miss
Catherine Force says she -wishes she
were "& man" to punish the critics of
the Astor-Force union. Miss Force,
'who Is a sister of Madeleine Talmage
Force, the fiancee of Col. John Jacob
Astor, declares that the R&v. George
Chalmers Bichmond's calling alona
protects him from "other than legal
action." Miss Force is the first mem
ber of either family in the "unlon to
come back at the Philadelphia minis
ter who scores the "Astor-Force dis
grace," as he calls it.
The minister has been taken to task
by his bishop, ReT. Alexader Mackay
Smith. This is the way the bishop has
written to Dr. Richmond:
"In clearing up my papers prepara
tory to leaving Philadelphia I find an
other childish, kindergarten postcard
from you, in which, like a nanghty lit
tle boy who has Just been punished,
you make a lace at me, not daring to
do more.
"1 make allowance for you in this
matter, because I remember that you
are the nephew of the person who,
when I was a boy, was known as
'Crazy Richmond,' because he made
himself a scandal In every community
h& ever enterd. As the name indicated,
he was generally regarded as Insane.
"When you tried to -speak a fort
night ago and were hissed down "by
the clergy, with a violence and -unanimity
that one would suppose would
have made an j insane person blush,
many of the clergy said after you had
been silenced. 'The taint still runs in
the blood. Any other man would have
been overwhelmed by the universal
disgust and dislike of all the brethren
In the room, but you did nof seem to
fake It home to you at all.
"Everybody Hates You."
"This feeling that you are not quite
right in the upper story is now gen
eraly believed by the clergy in Phila
delphia. I do not say whether they
are right or wrong, but things have
gone so far now that everybody hates
you and you hate everybody. I do
not as your bishop reprove you as
people are all the while telling me I
should do, for I have known that you
had long ago gotten beyond the point
where you have any reverence or
obedience for any reproof, human or
divine, "but there must be some ex
planation of your attitude.
"I have had 35 years experience
in the clergy and T never met anybody
like you. The general convention not
long ago withdrew my power to pun
ish you for mere Impudence. Such
vanity as yours may have its equal,
but I never heard of it. They did this
on the ground that no such person
like you existed in the ministry. Men
like you only appear once In a gen
eration, and if I live till the next con
vention I shall have the canon restored
(as it is In the army and navy) which
prevents outrageous insolence from
having a clear field for all kinds of
Insults. The only reason I let you off
now is to avoid the horrible scandal
which would ensue as soon as the
church learned your career."
BIsfeop Refused "to See Him.
Dr. Richmond explains that, after
getting the letters from bishop Mac-kay-Smith,
he vainly sought an inter
view with the prelate.
"But the bishop would not see me,"
said the rector. "He wrote letters
and then refused to meet me face to
face. At last, despairing of securing
the justice of a retraction, I decided
to make public one of the letters. ,
"There is no doubt that the bishop
is fully aware that be has made a
grievous error. He has made repeated
overtures to me for an 'exchange of
letters.' He is anxious to get back the
llf-advised and undignified letters he
has written, but not yet."

man, the Rev. F. B. Mayer, endorsed in
his position by ambassador Bryce, who
warned' American clergymen while here
thai the senate would see in the
treaties abridgment of its own consti

and said certain .members would be

shows unwilHogness to confirm, a big

Everything is n readiness.
NORTH IS TO HELP SOUTH
AMERICA TS RELIGIOUS "WORK
. Just before lie fell ill Pope Plus X
dispatched Father GennochI, long one
of the most active of the learned com
mission on the translation and re
vision of the bible, to Rio de Janeiro,
charged to study conditions of the
Catholic church in South America and
make a report to him. Father Gennochi
had spent seven years among Moham
medans in Arabia and Afghanistan,
and three among cannibal tribes in
New Guinea before taking up bible
sommtesion work in Home.
Pope Pius X. had also appealed to
the Rev. Dr. Charles P. Grannan, of
ihe Catholic university at "Washington,
also a member of the same bible com
mission, to enlist if possible the char
itable Catholics of the United States
to help the Roman college of Latin
America, located in Rome and in dan
ger of closing unless larger financial
support be assured it. In his appeal
to the Rev. Dr. Grannan, which the
pope makes direct, he states that noth
ing is to be expected in financial help
from Latin American Catholics, and
yet he says that in Rome and at this
college must be trained the leaders for
:outh America and the West Indies,
whch the church there stands in no
much need
Cardinal Albuquerque, the one mem
ber of the Sacred College in South
America as cardinal Gibbons Is the one
In North America, Is archbishop of Rio
de Janc'ro, and to him, in his letter
commending father Gennochi to South
American prelates, Pope Pius X. appre
ciates the poverty of the church in
what he calls the "neglected contin
ent," deplores the poverty of the holy
see itself In being unable to provide
missionaries for the many unoccupied
fields in 3razll, Bolivia, Argentina and
Peru particularly, and urges Catholic
leaders of South America in general to
foster In all cities Catholic weekly
newspapers after the manner of Cath
olic prelates in the United States. The
pope praises the press as a religious
educator when rightly edited, and ap
peals to the clergy to undertake
through it larger things for the church.
THE STUDENT "VOLUNTEERS
BIG TEAR OF DEVELOPMENT
The Student "Volunteer movement,
whose report is just out, furnished to
missionary societies last year, for serv
ice on foreign fields, 368 men and
women, who went out under 53 differ
ent societies. Up to the beginning of
-the calendar year the volunteers had
furnished 4784 missionaries to all
fields. That is the record for 25
years.
Getting students in American colleges
to form study classes in missions is
one way adopted by the Volunteers to
spread interest in foreign missions,
and secure recruits for fields. Last year
29,000 students were enroled in such

friends to give through them, is also
a method employed under stimulation
of the Volunteers.

BISHOP-ELECT' WINCHESTER OX
SOUTH AND ITS PROBLEMS
The Hev. T. J. R- "Winchester, for
some years rector of Calvary, the larg
est Episcopal church in Memphis, but
to be consecrated bishop coadjutor of
Arkansas on September 29 next, re
ported -while In New York the other
day upon three lines of religious work
in the middle west and south as he
saw them. Concerning the negro and
his problem, he believes, he said, that
industrial education is making sub
stantial headway, and that in time It
will solve the negro problem in
America, if it have Christianity and
white man's sympathy along with It.
He spoke, he said, as a long time
friend of the negro as he is in the
south.
Speaking of his work in Arkansas,
he said educational conditions there
are better than he had been led to sup
pose before ne looked into them fol
lowing his election. His consecration
takes place in Little Rock cathedral,
and he announces his policy as bishop
to trust laymen and put as large bur
dens upon them as he can induce them
to bear.
PRESBYTERIANS STAY APART,
BUT WORK HARD FOR MEMBERS.
Presbyterian zeal for numbers over
comes weather, and by arrangement
made by mall last spring, there have
just been held several informal con
ferences at as many resorts this sum
mer concerning union between the
large Presbyterian bodies north and
south. The Initiative in these confer
ences was taken by the northern men,
but In all cases they were met In a
cordial spirit by the southern men. It
was found that the question of the
negro played little part, and that the
prospect of one Presbyterian body, na
tional In its constituency and having a
membership of 1,700,000 was most at
tractive. v
From one of the southern conferees,
pastor of one of the largest congrega
tions In a Mississippi valley state, it
is learned that the northerners were
told plainly that separation of north
and south must continue until heresy
cases in the New York Presbytery, tr
even the appearance of such cases,
come to an end. Particularly severe
were the southerners upon the teach
ings of Union Seminary, New York,
and the questions and answers admit
edly given by students of that Institu
tion In the Presbytery of New York.
Until such answers cease to be given,
the southerners are reported to have
said, union of Presbyterians north and
south Is Impossible.
